Article 6: "Witter show quilts inspire, delight"

I don't think there was supposed to be a comma in the title. It doesn't really make sense with the comma. Other than that, I like how it had a lot of pictures of the different quilts at the show throughout.

Article 5: "Newell Library reopens doors after June 23 fire"

This article is short and sweet. It tells you what is going on but doesn't give you a whole bunch of unnecessary details. I didn't like how it went from third to first person, though. It felt like two different people wrote the article and they put them together. It was as if the first person writing was supposed to be a quote.

Article 4: "Pride of Iowa contestants share their recipes"

The way that the article was set up was confusing to me. It had a recipe in the middle and then started on another topic after that, with another recipe at the end. I think it would have flowed much better if both the recipes had been at the end.

Article 3: "Richter claims state has evidence to clear her"

I found a typo in this article. There is no space between two words where it is obvious there should be.

Article 2: "Palin Running"

I like this article because it talks about more than just the main character, who is Sarah Palin. It talked more about how she interacted with the locals and used their quotes instead of hers. The article showed different opinions and reactions, and it kept my attention even though it was a longer article.

Article 1: "Up, Up and Away."

This article is very short. It has just two pictures with a long caption explaining what's going on. I like that it had a picture of the event and a picture of the people in the event. I also think it's smart that it didn't have a whole article on the subject because you get the idea in the caption, and a long article would just waste space.
